Melbourne NRL prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona faces a one-match ban after being charged with dangerous contact.

Asofa-Solomona was hit with a grade-one charge by the match review committee for a 'crusher tackle' in the Storm's home loss on Friday night to Brisbane.

Due to loading, he will miss the Storm's final-round match against Cronulla next week if he takes the early guilty plea on the charge, or if he is found guilty at the judiciary.
